Jessica’s fox poem
I am in a box
Help there is a car after me
I am on a swing
Fox poem
Sly fox in a box,
Eating food from a shop,
Like pizza, pasta and potatoes.
Scared fox in a rush,
Hunted in city streets,
by car, trucks and bikes.
Silly fox in a park,
Playing on the all the toys,
Like swings, slides and climbing frames.
Autumn Poems
The Biggies took advantage of the good weather to take some photos in the playground this morning. We then wrote poems to go with them.
Life of a duck – Islay

Blaeberry Mou
The Biggies have been making some animations of “Blaeberry Mou” a poem in Scots by William Soutar.
Listen out for Fulton’s playing of the chanter!
Blaeberry Mou
The flitterin faces come doun the brae
And the baskets gowd and green;
And nane but a blindie wud speer the day
Whaur a’ the bairns hae been.
The lift is blue, and the hills are blue,
And the lochan in atween;
But nane sae blue as the blaeberry mou’
That needna tell whaur it’s been.
William Soutar
